Pechka does seem to be right rather than Pechika so +1 to that one.

For the others:
See wiki #42126

In particular this bit:

Character tags should be the same name and name order that are used in the original source material. For example, Kiyama Hiroto, not "Hiroto Kiyama" or "Xavier Foster". If an alternate name, such as a nickname or a name from the English version, is widely used, you may "request an alias"/tag_alias_request/new from that to the original language title.

The second to fifth of those are definitely right as they are.

The other two are just a matter of romanisation - unless someone can find some official art from the Japanese side that goes one way or the other it might be a good idea to change these over.

For 2nd to last, none are cases of romanisation. These names I'm asking for update are the official ones from the official english release of the Light Novel. You can check the imgur links I posted; they are from the book.

Specifically, 2nd to 5th are the names that were used for the fan-translation, back when there was no official release. Now that there's one, those old names aren't valid anymore.

For the cases of yumenoshima_genopsycho and miyokata_no_nako, beyond the fact the latter is even typed wrong, those names aren't the real names of the characters, but their magical-girl names, which, being aliases/nicknames they go by and introduce themselves as, there is no room for the regular last name_first name rule, which only applies for real names.

The last two are plain wrong.

We go by the order as written originally in Japanese. It does not matter whether they are "real names" or not:
御世方 那子（みよかた のなこ）
夢ノ島ジェノサイ子（ゆめのしま じぇのさいこ）
So it should be
miyokata_nonako
yumenoshima_genopsyko

I see. I understand the logic and am fine with the last name_first name order for regular names. I'm not really convinced in applying it to "stage names", but it's fine, no a big deal, I'll follow the rule. Drama is the last thing I want.

Should I make individual update requests for each of the 7 names then, since this mass update is a no go?

You can just edit the original request. The third and fourth requests might not be agreed on either, though. We generally don't translate name elements Japanese->English (for instance, "Ahiru" not "Duck" for Princess Tutu, or "Konjiki no Yami" instead of "Golden Darkness"). Removing honorifics like "-chan" is arguable too, particularly in this case IMO where it would be considered a permanent part of the character's name.

I editted my original request. Can it be looked at once more?

@nyannyan will still not be updated for the same reason we have a magical nyan nyan taruto tag and not magical meow meow taruto as the North American DVD release of that show is called. (Pretty obscure example, but most publishers are not stupid enough to translate stuff like this so it's the first one I found.)

Are the others fine, though?
